Compared to most any other aircraft (because it's 'short coupled' and it's
aierlon is the full length of the wing) if you even "think" about a turning,
etc. you're already there. Over controlling is very easy. After about 10 or 20
hours you'll get used to it. After about 50 hours every other airplane feels
like a slug. (This is a true story, and I still feel stupid about it...) After
around 50 hours I was due for a BFR. I rented a Cessna 172 that I used to from
the local FBO to practice in it before I took the review in it. I took off
straight out for another less busy airport to do pattern work. When I got there
I almost panicked because the plane would barely make turns into the pattern.
When I landed I stopped and did a walk around, sure that I missed a gust lock.
I didn't...I just forgot that other aircraft simply fly like that compared to
the Sonerai. You forget how much muscle they can take.
The Sonerai lands blind and fast but (without a full swiveling tail wheel) I
thought it was better on the ground than the J-3 I learned in.
